Chapter 14 Eating a stick
Li Rubai's servants escorted the group of troublemakers to his official residence.
Fortunately, Li Rubai recognized Gao Shixin and was grateful to him for defeating the pursuers and saving many of his brothers, so this group of big-headed soldiers who were causing trouble did not suffer from flesh and blood.
"Shixin, Shixin, you have just made great contributions, why did you cause trouble again? Do you know who the young master Fan you just beat?" Li Rubai blamed Gao Shixin earnestly.
"Li Junmen, isn't that the young master of the merchant family? Besides, their people were rude first, and then the dispute started. Although we injured their people, several of our brothers were injured." Gao Shixin replied as if he didn't know who Fan Yongdou was.
Li Rubai sighed: "Although Mr. Fan was born in a merchant family, even if I was behind him, I couldn't afford to provoke him! Shixin, Mangui, you have caused a big disaster today!"
I heard that even Li Rubai could not afford to provoke the people behind Fan Yongdou. No wonder the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi merchants during the Tianqi period and the Chongzhen period were able to openly smuggle grain, iron and other strategic materials from the Later Jin Dynasty, and blatantly invest in the enemy, but were not punished! If there was no backstage, Fan Yongdou would have seventy-two heads like Sun Wuzi, who were not enough to cut them.
"Isn't there just a few stinky money? What's so great? I have more than a hundred Tartars' lives on hand! I heard that the Fan family also provided Jiannu with iron tools. Jiannu used the iron tools given by the Fan family to build weapons to attack us!" Man Gui argued dissatisfiedly.
Li Rubai sighed and said, "Mangui, Mangui, you have been in the army for more than ten years. The Mongolian Tartars and Jiannu have cut more than 100 heads, right? But you are still a small general flag today. Do you know why? I know that you are addicted to alcohol and have all the heads you cut to change them. But this is not the reason why you are still the general flag now! If you have a better temper and know how to be a human being, even if you don't have guerrillas now, at least one thousand households, why are you still a general flag today?"
In fact, Li Rubai is also a good-tempered person. Because of this, he does not have the courage of his father Li Chengliang and his brother Li Rusong. When Li Chengliang was there, the old slave did not dare to rebel; even when Li Rusong was there, the old slave was not so arrogant. When Li Chengliang died of illness and Li Rusong died in the north expedition to the Tatars, no one could control the old slave.
Li Rubai continued, "How can you know that the Fan family has some relationship with Yang Jinglei. The Fan family has been in Zhangjiakou for many years. In the Mongolians and Jurchens, there are people in the court to support them. How can you offend them? But you have hurt his people for no reason. I am willing to help you, but it is not easy for me to help you."
Just as Li Rubai was teaching Man Gui, Gao Shixin and others a lesson like an elder, a sharp shout came from outside: "Li Junmen, how are those murderers who dare to beat Xiaoye? I, Xiaoye Fan, want to watch them be punished with my own eyes!"
Man Gui cursed: "My surname is Fan, you thief! Come in quickly! Grandpa is waiting for you inside!"
"Li Junmen, your subordinates beat me, don't you give me an explanation?" Fan Yongdou said as he stepped into the gate.
I saw that Fan Yongdou was wrapped in gauze on his head, like a mummy. His gorgeous clothes became dirty and covered with blood and oil. When his chest was left with an extra-large footprint, it goes without saying that the footprint was Man Gui's masterpiece. In addition to Man Gui's big footprint, countless footprints were left on his body and sleeves. The most amazing thing was that a footprint was also left on his crotch. I don't know who his masterpiece was. I guess after taking this kick, Fan Yongdou would still have the ability to do so after he took it.
"Li Junmen, come and judge. I will take away the private room I booked first, and I snatched these mud legs and beat my men! Li Junmen, how do you plan to solve this problem?" Fan Yongdou said arrogantly.
"Please rest assured Mr. Fan. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer for this matter." Li Rubai replied quickly. He didn't want to make the matter worse. Now that his father and brother are gone, Liaodong is no longer the world of the Li family. Even when Li Chengliang and Li Rusong were there, some local military leaders and civil servants, Li Chengliang would not easily cause trouble. The water in Liaodong is too deep. Who knows what kind of complicated relationship is behind an inconspicuous guy?
"Okay!" Fan Yongdou screamed loudly, "My master, I want to watch those evil people be punished with my own eyes!"
"Come here!" Li Rubai shouted, "Drag these rebels who violated military discipline. The two leading general flags, two small flags, one of them beats fifty military sticks. After the beating, everyone will be put into prison!"
Zhang Yong shouted: "Young Master Fan, we are willing to compensate the money!"
Fan Yongdou sneered: "Your master has money! You don't want your money! I'll see you being punished!"
A group of personal soldiers surrounded him, four people held Mangui down, and one of them swung the military stick and was about to beat him.
"Slow!" Gao Shixin shouted and stood up, "Today's incident started because of me, I am the leader. Li Junmen, if you want to fight, just hit me first!"
"Good man! Then let's beat you first!" Li Rubai said.
The personal soldiers held Gao Shixin down, swung the military stick, and began to hit him on the butt one after another. Hearing the sound of the military stick touching the flesh, the group of thugs under Gao Shixin felt the pain when they heard it. But Gao Shixin felt that the military stick hitting the body sounded very loud, but it was obvious that the personal soldiers showed mercy and did not really use all their strength. They just broke the skin and did not hurt their muscles.
Gao Shi knew in confidence that this was what Li Rubai showed for Fan Yongdou. However, although it was a fake blow, the military sticks hit him one after another still hurt him to death.
The fifty military sticks were beaten quickly, and Gao Shixin's skin was full of flesh and blood flowed.
"Press Mangui down and beat him!" Li Rubai shouted.
"Slowly! Today's incident started because of me, and it has nothing to do with Brother Man. If you want to hit me, just hit me!" Gao Shixin shouted.
"Mangui is the general flag. He first hit people for no reason, and then he was not in charge of his men. He should be punished!" Li Rubai said.
Gao Shixin shouted with a sense of justice: "Mangui is my eldest brother, I am willing to be punished for Brother Man! You guys will beat me!"
Man Gui's eyes were so moved that she was wet. A big man who was used to separation from life and death almost shed tears.
Li Rubai felt a little unbearable and walked to Gao Shixin and whispered: "Sir Gao, although I asked my personal soldiers to show mercy, I will continue to be beaten with fifty military sticks. Even if you are hit by iron, you can't bear it."
"Li Junmen, Bei Zhi is willing to be punished for his elder brother! Let them continue to fight!" Gao Shixin replied loudly.
The personal soldiers swung the military sticks and beat them again. After the second 50th military sticks were beaten, Gao Shixin felt pain all over his body and could no longer stand up. Although the personal soldiers kept their strength, they beat the fifty military sticks in a row, and there was no complete piece of meat on their backs.
Then the personal soldiers dragged their faces across Scarface and pressed them to the ground, trying to beat military sticks.
"Slowly! Wu Haotian is my brother! I will also get him killed with his fifty military sticks!" Gao Shixin shouted again.
"You don't want to live?" Li Rubai shouted, "If you hit the 50th military stick, do you still have your life? You'd better not hold on and leave this life to serve the court!"
"It's okay! I'm hard and can get another hundred military sticks! I'll take over both of them, the two of them!"
Wu Haotian and another small flag knelt on the ground: "Li Junmen, please stop beating Brother Gao. We will take our own military sticks!"
Although Gao Shixin couldn't move, he raised his head and shouted firmly: "You two are still my people? You don't even listen to my orders? You retreat, I will take your military sticks for you!"
Li Rubai turned his head to look at Fan Yongdou: "Young Master Fan, look, this hero has already been hit by a hundred military sticks. Can you write down the remaining one hundred military sticks first and then calculate it later?"
Fan Yongdou screamed: "No! They beat me so badly that these hundred military sticks cannot be avoided!"
Li Rubai had no choice but to let his personal soldiers beat Gao Shixin another 100 military sticks. A total of 200 military sticks. After the beating, Gao Shixin was already unconscious. His entire back was covered in blood and his clothes were stuck to his back.
